Disclaimer: I really don't see why I need one of these but here goes, Blah Blah Blah I don't own any characters, only the ones you don't recognize from the book. There, happy? Anyway, I couldn't do this without the help from my best friends, so to Allison Elena and Emily: You guys rock!

Chapter 2

Kirel finished packing her clothes and looked to see if she had missed anything.

Everything seems to be in order she thought to herself as she went to put the last

thing in her bag, The Book of the Dead. As she set it down in her bag something

caught her eye. A small zipper, about the size of the nail on her pinky finger

hidden on the side the bag. She opened the small compartment to find a

small statuette of a dog, just like the one her mother had showed her when she

was younger. The Disreputable Dog her mother had said. But this looked

somewhat different. The dog was smaller then she remembered. It looked puppy-

like instead. Oh well, I must have forgotten how small it actually was she thought

and shrugged as she stuffed it into her pocket. It made her feel better to have it

with her.

"Kirel, come on!" Jerael hissed from the hallway, "We need to get going before the teachers wake up!"

"Don't worry Jerael, they don't wake up until 5:40 at the earliest." Kirel said calmly.

"And how do you know this?" Kirel smirked and dragged her bag out the door.

It was 1:43 am on the clock in the hallway. They were making very good time. Creeping

down the hallway, after what felt like hours at the pace they were going at, they soon

came to the front gate.

"They lock the gates at night so we have to climb the wall." Kirel said and walked off towards the gate as Jerael followed and uttered a small sigh.

After many minutes of groaning and wining Kirel and Jerael landed on the soft grass on the other side of the gate.

"Well I guess we should get directions to which way the wall is" Kirel said and laughed at the feeling of going home.

"Lets go!" Jerael cried and they sped off leaving the school and their worries behind them.
